Cunning polyps
The structure of the nutrition of civilized countries is increasingly changing towards refined products. Replacing the familiar porridge with fried muesli, preferring tea with sugar, and not with honey, excluding bread from the flour of coarse grinding, fond of sausage and sausages, we do not suspect which difficult task we ask your intestine. After all, the lack of coarse fiber food leads to the growth of colon tumors — primarily polyps.
Polyps — The most common benign tumors of the large intestine.
A small rounded polyp body is usually attached «leg» to the intestinal mucosa and «Sweet» in his misfortune. If the polyp is small — Several millimeters in diameter, he does not bother at all, and it can only be found randomly, when examining the colon. Large polyps reaching several centimeters can ulcerate, break through the walls of the intestine and lead to bleeding and intestinal obstruction. Polyps are often found: in 5 — 15 percent of the population and almost half of those who are in fifty.
Hemokkult-Test
There is a simple and relatively inexpensive method of identifying them, which, unfortunately, has not become massive in our country, but entered the mandatory medical practice in European countries, for example in Germany. This is a hemokkult test. With the help of special chemical reactions, it is possible to identify even the most insignificant amount of blood in the cartilage masses, which necessarily appears even with very small polyps in the intestine. People who have not complained about anything, thus manage to diagnose polyps and tumors of colon. In Germany, everything you need for hemoccult tests are sent by mail, it remains only to bring analysis to the medical center. An even more witty technology is invented in Japan: a special sensor is mounted in the toilet, which reacts to the appearance of blood in Kale. The sensor is connected to a computer, which is connected to a general medical network that monitors each apartment connected to it. When «alarm» Medpersonal causes a family to examine.
What is the reason for such high attention to the polypam?
The fact is that they are often rendered by the precursors of colon cancer. In 50-75 percent cases, a malignant tumor arises from polyps. Oncologists are well known that small polyps tend to increase and then to malignant growth. Of particular danger represents multiple, or diffuse, polyposis, which is found in some families and has a hereditary nature. In this case, malignant tumors occur on the site of polyps in 80-100 percent of cases.
It is known that the diseases of the colon more often arise in people who suffer from colitis, crown disease, constipation. Self-medication with such diseases is extremely dangerous, because you can not notice the polyps and miss the time to effectively intervene.
The doctor examines the rectum in various ways. Upon finger research, only part of the polyps in the rectum is detected, the reorgano-stopia allows you to examine not only the direct, but also part of the sigmoid. The tool is a metal tube equipped with special optics, backlighting and a set of tweezers for taking biopsy (piece of fabric for subsequent study).
Next method — This irrigoscopy. A suspension of a sulfuric acid barium is introduced through the rectum, which fills the colon and allows with a x-ray study to examine its entire relief, the presence of yasels, tumors.
The most accurate method of colon survey — Fibrocolonoscopy. At the same time, a fiber instrument is used to inspect the intestine, which under the control of the doctor is passed through the intestinal bends, through all its narrowings and obstacles. This is a very expensive examination method, which is used only if the colon cancer is suspected and in cases where other methods are ineffective. Recently has become «Fashion» Apply for a survey computer tomography. This method is characterized by high sensitivity and helps to identify pathological foci with a diameter of several millimeters, but for the diagnosis of colon tumors has almost no matter.
I want to say about it because it is often necessary to hear from the sick that they need to make a computed tomography that «Surely everything will show». In this case, this examination does not give any additional information. The same applies to ultrasound.
How to treat polyps of a fat intestine?
The only effective method — Delete them. At one time they tried to remove the polyps with the help of the juice of Celebre, which drank an empty stomach or added to the enemas. Positive results do not give such treatment, but the delay in the terms of surgical treatment can lead to the reincarnation of polyps and the development of colon cancer.
Tumors are removed by an ordinary surgical operation either using endoscopic equipment. Especially effective fibrocolonoscope — It allows you to reduce damage to the large intestine to a minimum. Thin flexible tube penetrates all corners and with special hinges or tweezers «cuts» Polyp leg. In some cases, electrocoagulation is used to cover the floor of the polypa.
With multiple polyposses, a part of the colon is sometimes removed. Endoscopic method is painless, it is used without general anesthesia and anesthesia, injury to the intestine at the same time. The patient already the next day may be issued from the hospital.
When removing part of the intestine, the treatment is more complicated, the recovery period is longer. During the first two years there is a possibility of re-occurring polyps in the same place — This happens at 13 percent of patients. Another 7 percent polyps may appear in other colon departments. Therefore, patients first two years should systematically, once every six months (and if remote polyps belonged to aggressive species — every three months) to undergo a survey.
Prevention
- Presence in the diet of coarse fiber (cabbage, beets, turnips, zucchini, apples, pumpkins).
- Preference for vegetable fats.
- Limited use of beer and alcoholic beverages that promote the development of intestinal tumors.
- Timely treatment of chronic constipation, colitis, hemorrhoids, proctitis.
- Using high-quality toilet paper and arms after stool.
